Your task should now appear o in the left part of the Task Scheduler. You may need to refresh (F5) the list to make it appear.
You can try your task by right-clicking on it and clicking "Run" (Note! The background backup will only run if Online Backup is not running. Otherwise it will rely on the built-in backup schedule of Online Backup).
Files uploaded by the background backup are displayed in the event window of the Online Backup client.
